PPP Loan

 

On April 12, 2020, our subsidiary PolarityTE MD, Inc. (the “Borrower”) entered into a promissory note evidencing an unsecured loan in the amount of $3,576,145 made to it under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “Loan”). The Paycheck Protection Program (or “PPP”) was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Loan to the Borrower was made through KeyBank, N.A., a national banking association (the “Lender”). The interest rate on the Loan is 1.00%. Beginning seven months from the date of the Loan the Borrower is required to make 24 monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $150,563. The promissory note evidencing the Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, making materially false and misleading representations to the SBA or Lender, or breaching the terms of the Loan documents. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding, collection of all amounts owing from the Borrower, or filing suit and obtaining judgment against the Borrower. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of a loan granted under the PPP. On October 15, 2020, the Borrower applied to the Lender for forgiveness of the PPP loan in its entirety based on the Borrower’s use of the PPP loan for payroll costs, rent, and utilities. On October 26, 2020, the Borrower was advised that the Lender approved the application, and that the Lender was submitting the application to the SBA for a final decision. The Company classified the principal balance of the PPP loan within “Current portion of long-term notes payable” and “Long-term notes payable” on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. If the Borrower’s application for forgiveness of the PPP loan is not approved or approved only in part, it will be obligated to repay the unforgiven portion of the loan after the SBA makes its decision on the application for forgiveness. No assurance has been provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the Loan in whole or in part. The SBA adopted a procedure for auditing all PPP loans over $2 million and pursuant to that procedure the Company completed the SBA’s form requesting information surrounding the Borrower’s original application for the Loan and information on use of the Loan proceeds, which was submitted to the SBA in December 2020. The Borrower has yet to receive any response from the SBA. If the SBA makes a determination pursuant to its audit of the Borrower that it was not eligible to obtain the Loan or did not use the Loan for the purposes contemplated by the CARES Act, it is likely the Borrower will be required to promptly repay the Loan in full and may be subject to additional charges or penalties.
